Whether the game will be open world or not is yet to be known and Kitase said that “we don’t plan on fussing about whether it’s a so-called open-world or sandbox. But since Nomura is more focused on the creation of the scenery, we want to express an environment character actions affect the scenery.”

The fan-favorite mini-games are still part of the plan. Nomura said, “There were a lot of things from big to small, but we need to consider a bit whether it’s necessary to create them all with the latest technology.”

When questioned about the possible release of the game on January 31, 2017, alongside the 20th anniversary date of the original Final Fantasy VII, Nomura said, “Personally, I’m waiting for Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 and World of Final Fantasy in 2016. I think when they’re completed, I’ll be able to release new information.”
